Really enjoyed that. In fact, I read a fair amount of your stories Joseph and am very impressed.

There’s some really nice dialogue in here. My favorite is ‘You looked like you were about to drop off baby.’ Makes me feel like you probably were.

Cheers Tom. If you are a major publisher, I’ll sell the rights for a cockatoo, two six-packs of Stella, and a frisbee…
Hey secretariat didn’t I once meet you, or did I imagine the whole episode?
Strange days, indeed……….

Nice stuff, Joe… but TWO six-packs of Stella… TWO? Man, you’re selling you and the best beer in the world short… short… I think we both should approach Stella Artois brewery and get them to sponsor us… I’ll swap the cockatoo for a crow and the frisbee for a football… but, as I say, good stuff…

Now you’re talking Finbow. The amount I’ve drunk, I reckon I’ve almost single-handely ensured they meet all their UK sales targets. Although it sounds like you might have assisted me in that noble task.
Tom, I want two crates of Nelson Mandella, a raven, and a fifa world cup replica fussball!

I’ll raise you four crates of Uri, a phoenix, and the spit-shined plastic orange ball in the last real Subbuteo set… I hope Tom’s got deep ones….

This is like the best story ever. I am just SO overwhelmed by emotion when reading this that it makes me want to cry. You are my hero Joseph, my hero!
